The West Central Park Neighborhood Center is a community focused space located on the west side of Olympia, Washington between Harrison Avenue, Cushing Street, 4th Avenue, and Division Street. We are home to the Marie Bed & Breakfast, The Park Side Cafe, The Rolling Pin kitchen shop, West Central Park Project, multiple food trucks, and the Saturday Market at the West Central Park. In the near future we will also be adding two more retail spaces and residential rentals!
The Marie Bed & Breakfast
The Marie Bed and Breakfast is West Olympia’s award winning hideaway providing authentic Victorian ambiance, unforgettable breakfasts, and world class hospitality! Historically known as The McIntyre House, it’s one of the finest examples of Queen Anne style architecture in the area.
The Park Side Cafe
The Park Side Café provides a fresh take on plant-based foods. Offering organic, regional, and seasonal foods, they aim to boost local economy, reduce waste, and offer satisfying comfort foods to get you back on-the-go and filled with nutrient dense super foods with a compassionate core!
The Rolling Pin
The Rolling Pin is a fun and unique retail kitchen shop featuring cutlery, utensils, books, bakeware, and so much more. With in-store shopping, a full online shopping experience, and curb-side pickup options, they are here to help you stock your dream kitchen!
The Food Truck Court
Tucked in between the West Central Park and the Park Side Cafe, our food truck court hosts up to three full time food trucks from locally known and loved vendors! Hours may vary from truck to truck so please visit the link below for more detailed hours and information about our current vendors.
West Central Park Project
The West Central Park Project was the first property on the block to be transformed into the beautiful community space we all know and love! Formed in 2013 as a 501c3 nonprofit, it was started with the goal of creating a green, inviting, multi-use neighborhood common space that would promote resilience and community connection!
Saturday Market
Saturday Market at the West Central Park is our seasonal outdoor market featuring farms, food, and craft vendors from around the area. Also featured are a wide variety of local musical guests and weekly kids activities! The season runs every Saturday, May through September from 10am to 3pm.
Orchard House Flats
Located at 135 Cushing St, the Orchard House Flats is our latest project at the WCPNC. Over the coming year, this property will be transformed into a mixed use site with two residential rental apartments, a new parking lot, a public restroom, and upgrades to our business office! More details coming soon.
Business & Development
The original vision was to create a walkable, vibrant retail center for the surrounding community. And we are well on our way to seeing that vision realized! Founder and CEO Alicia Elliott, along with her team, are currently in the process of restoring seven properties on the block, with four completed and several more to come in the years ahead!
